As discussed at the last general meeting: Tuesday, June 23rd, 7:00 Stonehouse Restaurant 3740 Carp Road Carp The Stonehouse is located on the main four corner intersection in the village of Carp. For most of you, access will be via the Carp Rd. exit off Hwy. 417. Carp Village is about 8-10 km...

The Manotick Legion is double-booked. We will re-locate to Hardstones Grill. It is at the corner of Manotick Main and Bridge St. (main intersection in Manotick). 7:30, see you there. Mike

Well we dodged a bullet when it came to the weather - the next day, Monday was what I had worried we might be looking at: cold, and rainy. Sunday on the other hand was great, perfect temperature, showers held off and the blackflies were tolerable. Thanks to the 24 riders who came out. Apart...

At this point Sunday is calling for a 40% probability of showers - which is not terrible odds. BUT who really wants to ride in an all-day driving rain? Or stand around at the BBQ lunch in the same thing. SO, what I propose to do is check the radar Sunday at 07:00 and make a final determination...

This coming Sunday (the 18th) at the gravel pit located on Hwy. 508, 3.7 km. beyond (west) of Calabogie Peaks. Watch for the BMA signboard by the side of the road. Sign in from 9:00; riders meeting at about 9:45 then ride at 10:00 It worked so well last year that we are doing the same thing...

For anyone who hasn't seen it, check out Doug Hunter's article on all things Calabogie in the latest edition of Inside Motorcycles. Really well written - I don't know why it took them so long to get around to printing it - although it is a good fit with upcoming road race National at Calabogie...

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&g ... 87454&z=12 This should get you close. If you get lost, call me, I can probably find you (although maybe not until the door prizes are drawn - gotta keep the odds up). Mike (613) 795-6849

I just re-upped for 2008 at the OFTR web-site. It was quick and easy - no glitches. Remember, part of the new deal is that the OFTR takes care of the administrative part of this and then simply forwards the BMA portion of the dues to them. Pretty slick. BTW, in regard to the $80. I know that...

Woody and I are meeting at the gravel pit on Hwy 508 (3.7 km past Calabogie Peaks) at 10:00 Monday July 2 to work on time/distances for the Sunday a.m. loop for the Boogie. Anyone looking for a preview is welcome to join us. Mike

I would like to say that preparations are well underway for next Sundays Spring Club Ride - but it wouldn't be true. I've just been too busy. But I should have time after this Saturday and will be doing some scouting etc. over the next week. But, it will come together and the EVENT IS ON...

The Club Spring Trail Ride, originally scheduled for Sunday May 13 (Mother's Day!!) in the Black Donald area (behind Calabogie Peaks) has been postponed to Sunday, June 10. This event will be similar to last fall's ride - except that a mid-day BBQ (included in the entry fee) is planned to get...

I plowed the track today and I'm pleased with the result. It will be something a little different and I have tried to make it wiiide, and to go along with Kevin's suggestion "don't give us a bullring". It's not Talladega, more like Pocono for those who know what that means. Anyway, we are good...

It looks like I will be headed to Calabogie tomorrow to hammer out some of the details for this years Fall Club Ride. As it stands at the moment, here are the details: Date: Sunday, October 1 Location: Hwy. 508, 3.7 km. west of Calabogie Peaks Ski Area (this is a large gravel pit) there will be...
